Takam, possible signs of brain damage, anyone else noticed this?

In the Joshua fight, before the cut occured, I saw Takam dab at his eye as if there was a cut, but there wasn't one
Takam fought Chisora with his gumshield hanging out of his mouth
When Takam fights, he blinks a lot

All the same warning signs we saw from Gerald Mclellan before he almost died.

I hadn’t noticed that with Takam, yet I did watch the Chisora fight only casually.

I will say that McClellan was blinking heavily and protruding his gumshield during his first fight with Julian Jackson, almost two years prior to his ill fated bout with Benn. I’ve always been curious whether a foundation of future ceberal damage was first laid by the huge punching Jackson, though presumably McClellan did pass CAT scans in between the first Jackson and Benn bouts. Or perhaps not. It probably helped Gerald in a sense having 3 easy blow out wins prior to the Benn fight to prevent any further accumulation of possible damage, not that it made any difference to his eventual fate.

Hopefully, Takam will retire with those possible warning signs evident. Unfortunately, a string of easy wins over limited opposition will likely convince him to continue and ultimately set up another punishing loss when he again steps up in class. As we know, that’s the nature of the toughest game.

Yes I did notice that...I thought that it might have been a case of Takam hurting his eye in that fight vs Joshua, maybe because of a grazing punch or something. But I didn't really notice it in the Chisora fight so I paid it no mind. It probably was a good decision looking back at that stoppage of Joshua vs Takam despite the controversy. The ref might have seen the same thing you did. And after that first KD vs Chisora he did look really strange I agree with that as well. It is worrying, maybe he should retire
